Chapter Fourteen-
Mount Justice
15:23 EDT December 23,
Wally was the last person Artemis expected to see sitting by her bedside next to the Boy Wonder with a worried look on his face.
She groaned and turned over, startling Wally and Robin.
"You're okay!" Wally exclaimed.
Artemis sat up in the bed. "What happened?" she asked groggily, then started panicking. "Where's mom? Is she okay? What-"
Robin held up a hand. "Your mom is okay. Batman took her home and made sure she was safe."
Artemis relaxed in the bed.
"Robin, report to the Batcave." A computerized voice said over the loudspeakers. Robin left the room for the zeta-tubes.
Wally looked sympathetically at Artemis.
"Wally, I'm sorry I didn't tell you that Cheshire was my sister or that I worked for the shadows. I was afraid-"
"-We'd kick you off." Wally finished. "Can't blame you for taking that opinion, especially the way I treated you."
"And I you." Artemis said.
Wally stuck out his hand. "Friends?" he asked.
"Friends." Artemis said, shaking his hand.
"So what else do I not know about you?" Wally asked. "You might as well tell me everything."
"Well, for starters, my dad is..."

Artemis yawned and walked into the room. "Ever heard of sleep-"
She stopped at the sight of the huge tree and all the presents underneath.
"-ing?"
Artemis walked over and plopped down, looking at all the stacked presents and the wrapping paper on the floor. "How long have you guys been up?"
"An hour." Wally said, blurring in from the kitchen with an arm full of food. His foot slipped on a piece of wrapping paper and he fell flat on his back, the food landing all over him.
Artemis laughed.
"That is so not funny." Wally said, whipping Cheetos off his chest.
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Oh boy." Robin said face palming himself. "Here we go again."
THE END!

Robin:
i decided to take a quick walk to get Artemis and Wally's yelling out of my head. there where little snowflakes falling and frost gathered on the ground, the harbor had a happy Christmasy feel to it, i walked by a little group of kids and they were singing.
"Dashing through the snow, in a pair of broken skis over the hills we go crashing into trees bam, bam, bam the snow is turning red i think i'm almost dead woke up in the hospital with stitches in my head" the song was odd but the kids were laughing, you just had to smile, but then the kids went on to the second verse.
"Jingle bells, Batman smells," WAIT WHAT?! my eyes widen
"Robin laid and egg," I glare and stomp up the sidewalk, but the kids are still singing
"The Bat-mobile lost its wheel and Joker flew away HEY, jingle bells, jingle bells.........." i mutter stupid kids

Red Revenge stepped out of the transporter to find Artemis waiting for him in full costume.
"Didn't take Boy Wonder long to figure out where I live, did it?" he asked, walking past her.
Artemis glared at him, but ran up beside him.
"Let me guess, you want to talk about why I act like a jerk." Revenge said, still not looking at the archer.
"Actually, I thought we could go out for ice-cream." Artemis said.
Duh, duh duh!
